NORTHWEST CONFERENCE – PERSON OF DISTINCTION AWARD
The Northwest Conference puts high value on celebrating our students, programs and communities throughout the school year. From “Leaders in Sportsmanship,” to “Coaches vs. Cancer” and “Only 7 Seconds,” The Northwest Conference consistently goes above and beyond with outreach to every school and their corresponding communities.
Starting this spring, each school in the NWC will have the opportunity to highlight someone from their community as a “Person of Distinction.” This honor will celebrate someone associated with each athletic program and draw a spotlight on the amazing selfless people who help make this conference so special!

Testimonials
“Whether it is a student, staff member or community member, Bob sees people. If there is a need, he willing steps in to assist in finding a solution. With a heart for the underdog, he looks for opportunities to include people. No matter the occasion, you can hear Bob say “How can I help?” and “What can I do?”

“A paragraph does not sum up the admiration and respect I have for this man…Mr. Bob is an invaluable member of our school community and an incredible influence on our students and staff alike. Mr. Bob has become a much-loved and respected teacher, coach, and supporter of all “things” Squalicum. Drama, Choir, Band, and Unified Sports are just a few of the “lucky ones” to have Mr. Bob’s unwavering enthusiasm and commitment -You will find no one cheering louder or clapping longer! Bob’s infectious enthusiasm and boundless energy has created a welcoming environment for our students and shown us what it means to be a part of the Storm Family. Squalicum is the lucky recipient of his dedication currently, but many other schools have equally benefited from his presence over the years. His commitment to loving and supporting our students will leave a lasting impact on everyone he has ever worked with or touched.”

“Bob has been a long-time educator with Squalicum High School working in the Life-Skills Program. Bob has coached boys and girls sub-varsity tennis and has been very active in Unified Sports. In addition, Bob has worked many, many Squalicum High School sporting events. He is most well-known by other schools as the enthusiastic greeter at our ticket booth. Bob always has a welcoming smile and warm greeting to our guests, and he makes sure everyone feels welcome. Many times, I have had visiting parents comment to me that they feel so welcome at Squalicum because of how they were treated when they entered the building. That is Mr. Bob at his best, making us all look good.”
